I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on the Tech Savvy Talks podcast, hosted by my Technology Team Lead, Kiro Kosturanov, where we had an amazing conversation about how Quality Assurance (QA) goes far beyond “just testing.”
We discussed how QA plays a crucial role in building successful products — from early involvement in development to enhancing usability and ensuring a seamless user experience.

Some of the topics we covered:
🔹 The four pillars of QA: role, skills, boosters, and personal growth
🔹 Why QA should be part of the process from day one
🔹 The right balance between manual testing, automation, and exploratory testing
🔹 How QA contributes to usability and product quality, not just bug detection
🔹 Why QA is a career path in its own right
This episode is perfect for anyone interested in how great products are built — whether you’re a developer, QA, product manager, or just curious about the process.

A huge thank you to my company, Scalefocus, for organizing this podcast and giving me the opportunity to share my experience and perspective on the QA role. 🙌
